HI,
I have tried to install Mac Os Sierra on my dell latitude e6540 with following specs

Core i7 4800mq
8gb 1600Mhz DDR3L Ram
128gb SSD for Mac + 480gb Crucial SSD for windows
Graphics: Intel HD 4600 + AMD Radeon hd 8790m.
Wifi + Bluetooth: Dell Wireless 1506
Sound. Realtek ALC3226 HD Audio Codec

Results:
First stuck on apple logo with stopped sign. I use usbfix on legacy boot options in multibeast and it works well. After completing the installation keyboard was not working. So I do some research and installed VoodooPS2Controller by RehabMan and keyboard start working. Sound is worked by installing random code from MultiBeast.

I have also able to worked with Intel hd 4600 by injecting Intel using Clover Configurator.

Whats working now:
1. Intel Hd 4600 (feels like i am using a virtual machine not actual machine)
2. Keyboard
3. Audio (but not very great i think there is not actual code installed)
4. Ethernet
5. Clover Legacy bootloader

Whats not working:
1. Wireless / Bluetooth
2. AMD Radeon Hd 8790m
3. Trackpad

I will get the Mac compatible wireless/Bluetooth adapter. Please suggest any Sierra compatibleMini PCIe Wifi Bluetooth Combo.
Now, I need help to setup at least my AMD Radeon HD 8790m drives. I can start from scratch as well if I have to downgrade to El Capitan or Yosemite. I need that graphics card working on mac.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Thanks, I will be getting BCM94352HMB wifi/bluetooth adapter.

Do you have any idea how to enable radeon hd 8790m on my sierra installation?
 
Did you try OS X Mojave?
 
Hi,

If you managed to get E6540 working with AMD Radeon HD 8790M could you please share some info like your EFI folder , etc... please.

I am currently running 10.14.5 Mojave with Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 but I really would like to use AMD Radeon HD 8790M + HDMI if possible

Thank you.
